Welcome
Neighbor!
M 8. M.
“If from cherished childhood
scenes
Fate and fortune have
brought you here,
And your heart still home
ward leans;
Remember — New friends
with time grow dear.
Your joys, your sorrows are
of ours a part,
So, help us to know you that
we may share
This experience of Life, with
open heart;
Welcome Neighbor! We’re
glad you are here.”
We are indebted to Hart
well for our new neighbors,
this week. However, the
Thad B. Holbrooks are not
entirely strangers in our
midst, for Mr. Holbrook has
made Covington his home
for the past three years. On
June 28, he married that
sweetheart “back home”,
and brought her to us to
establish his own home at
216 S. Mill St., where they
now reside.
Mrs. Holbrook, a Hartwell
native like her husband,
finds cooking her first love.
In fact she majored in Home
Economics, and will assume
duties in that department
with Rockdale County High
School this fall. She also en
joys church activities, and
outdoor recreation.
Hr. Holbrook, who is a su
pervisor with Brunswick
Sports, is keenly interested
in farming, and has livestock
on his farm near Hartwell.,
Fishing and bowling are
also among his hobbies.
The Holbrooks are wel
come additions to the young
er married contingent, vari
ous phases of our social and
cultural life, and the Bap
tist Congregation, of which
they are members.
